I Just Revamped My Dev Platform: Custom CMS, Subdomains, & Real Projects 🚀

Lusan Sapkota — Sun, 29 Jun 2025 09:46:51 +0000

👋 Hey Devs!

I just revamped my developer platform and portfolio — everything built from scratch, no templates, no page builders.

🔧 What’s New:
My own content management system (CMS)

A clean, responsive design system

Live portfolio at lusansapkota.com.np

🌐 Subdomains with Purpose:
wiki. — dev articles, project wikis, notes

git. — project mirrors and code links

shop. — templates, tools, and SaaS (launching soon)

donation. — support my open-source work

I built this to showcase not just my skills, but my vision — to launch real, useful platforms and tools over the next year.

Would love your feedback or ideas for new features!

Let's go, GitHub Hackathon.
